Dollar Dog Day at Citizens Bank Park is upon us. There’s simply nothing like baseball and some sweet, sweet alliteration.

Moreover, it’s a gorgeous day (approaching 77°). The Phillies are 1-6 at home this year. Arthur Rhodes and Geoff Geary hate ERAs below 10. And Bobby Abreu doesn’t know what defense is. What could make for a better time to head down to South Philly for some beers and baseball? You guessed it, nothing.

We’re headed to CBP tonight to watch 1) Gavin Floyd try to follow up his first decent outing of the year with another one, 2) Bobby Abreu short arm a few more fly balls and 3) Ryan Howard hit a donger or two.

ABOUT

The Illadelph is a weblog about the city of Philadelphia… and all the ineffable awesomeness (and, unfortunately, awfulness) that comes with it.

As it happens, it's come to focus on a variety of favorite topics near and dear to our hearts, ranging from restaurants, hotels, transit and zoning to sports, media and, err, city hall? Whatever. Really, anything’s fair game. And from time to time, it’s basically a place we go for some good old-fashioned grandstanding, and, honestly, what’s not to like about that?

Happy Internets!
